Hi Perl Masters

I have a problem with a script which is suposed to open a huge text
file and take 70 lines, create a file, then take the next 70 lines
create a file and so on until it has parsed the whole file. My code
just doesn't work and my brain cannot figure out while{while{}} loops
Help please.

Thanks
Brad


Code:

#!  /usr/bin/perl

my $input = 'test12.txt';
my $end= '.txt';
my $fileno=1;
my $lineno=1;
open BIG, "test12.txt", or die "can't $!";

while (<BIG>) {

print "$lineno";
$newfile = "$fileno$end";
$fileno++;
open  NEW  ,"> $newfile";

while ($lineno < 71){
$lineno++;
print NEW  $_;
}}
